Hi Wayne,

Was it real leather or leatherette that was used, please?

Nice job with the doors!

Mike

Hi Keith, yes, back on as they were originally.

Mike, the seats are covered in leatherette as are the covers over the hand holds mounted on the floor. The corner of the original back section is pictured.

The Chev seats are sections sewn together and brass eyelets in the base to let the air in and out. The photos of the Ford interior show the seats as one full section of leather or leatherette.

The door check straps were leather as are the straps that hold the seats upright. The originals survived but I will get a local saddle maker to do these.

Have heard stories about comfy leather seats being in these vehicles, maybe that's the Ford.
